Spare wheel Octavia vRS

Featured Replies

Hello. Below is an image of what came in the boot of my car when I bought it. A fairly useful air compressor and a completely useless can of foam. My local Skoda dealer has quoted me about 270 quid for the tool kit and 18 inch space saver with tyre. I know i could probably source the wheel cheaper but I'm thinking it would be easier to return it if for any reason it doesn't fit.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has swapped out what is in the picture below for a space saver and tool kit. I'm assuming I'd have to remove what's in there at the moment to make room for the wheel and tool kit? Also would it need any kind of polystyrene surround/noise dampening?

 

Thanks

Worth looking at the various threads.

Thanks. I had trawled some of the threads already looking for clues but hadn't been able to find anyone saying specifically that they have the vRS (although it it may be that all the boot spaces are the same, however it looks like the vRS takes an 18 inch space saver and other models a smaller diameter space saver) and had changed from what's in my boot to having a space saver. 

 

I think I'll just order from the dealer and try and fit it on the forecourt, if it doesn't fit I'm guessing they'll take it back.

My car (4.5) came standard with it. It was one of the reasons we liked the car so much as so many models don’t have any spare these days.

@jimtheslim check this thread. My pictures at the end of the thread are from a 2021 VRS TSI estate. Keep in mind I have a Canton subwoofer in the spare tire. So you will probably get a toolkit which goes inside the tire instead of a subwoofer.

Thanks. I take it that was an 18 inch spare for a 19 inch wheel and the boot floor still closes on top even with that polystyrene tray with tools on top?

Correct.
